Within reason, I think you can buy sort of whatever you want as long as you drive it for 7+ years and amortize the cost. The people who flip cars endlessly are the ones who get killed. (Fell into that trap young and thankfully learned.)
America's favorite subject.
So:
Buy old, Buy new? Style... Sedan, Van, Truck, other?
Make?
Why?
And... If I had my druthers?.....
It was sold...This is the one I'm about to pull the trigger on.

Current Gallardo.
Very interesting ...
Go[t] tired of fixing my 7 year old BMW (so unreliable) and bought a 1 year old Acura TL coming off of a fleet lease with about 7k miles on it. Got it with a 7 year bumper-to-bumper warranty for about $34-35k. Almost 20% below the original price and with a longer warranty....
My own bias it to buy slightly used, nice cars. The BMW was the only new car I ever owned -- I'd always wanted s BMW and went for it. Loved driving it but I will NEVER own a BMW out of bumper-to-bumper warranty again.
As a side note (not trying to steal the thread) my wife and I decided to go down to one vehicle, there has been maybe 1 or 2 times in the last two years we could have possibly used 2 cars, we ended up just going together......anyone else down to one car? (It is just the wife and I, no kids etc.)
What an odd parallel. I too bought my first and only new car - also a BMW, also 7 years ago, for about $32K (a killer deal at the time with an MSRP of $46K). Unlike krotoole though, mine has been reliable as a stone. 135K miles and counting with the only repairs needed being the usual wear items (tires, shocks, brake pads, battery, various bushings, filters and fluids). Still runs great as fast as I dare go. Still gets 30 mpg at 80+ on the freeway. Hope I didn't just jinx it, but can't complain.
All that said, I'm enough of a frugal-nazi (and a decent enough shade tree mechanic) that this too will likely be my last new car.
